Call an older guy Hulk, think small shop type guy. People used to patch things at one time.  |
The problem with that is the leak, you need the pipes to be dry so you can apply the flux to the areas you want to braise. All you would be doing is prolonging the inevitable with waiting to cut out and replace.
